Revolutionizing Data Centers with High-Performance Computing and Quantum Networking

Data Center Advances in Quantum Computing

The world’s top quantum researchers, investors, and government officials convened in D.C. for the third annual Quantum World Congress last week. Despite being years away from practical quantum computers, announcements in quantum networking and high-performance computing fostered an upbeat atmosphere.

Significant Announcements

• IBM, Microsoft, and Boeing made groundbreaking announcements regarding their quantum initiatives.
• Boeing revealed plans to launch a satellite facilitating quantum communications.

Breakthroughs in Quantum Computing

For most of quantum computing's history, the focus has largely been on hardware development. However, as Jay Gambetta, vice president in charge of IBM's quantum initiative, points out, the software side is crucial for enterprise applications. IBM recently introduced an app store for quantum software, termed the Quiskit Functions Catalog.

• It features six functions, four of which focus on performance management and error correction.
• Two functions eliminate the complexities of quantum circuits in optimization and chemistry.
